For 40 Years, Sulzer Regional Library Has Been A Gem And Lifeline For North Siders

Sulzer Regional Library in Lincoln Square celebrates its 40th anniversary this weekend, offering over 200 free programs and events for community members. Located at 4455 N. Lincoln Ave. , the library is a crucial resource for local residents, many of whom describe it as a "gem" and a "lifeline. " Robin Fischer, a local marketing specialist, appreciates the library's role in her remote work lifestyle, while first-time mom Erin Jacobo finds solace in the story hours it provides.
